Re: steering wacked out after drop help fast
Is the car lowered? When was your last alignment? If you didn't get an alignment after a drop then you add wider tires and wheels the extra contact patch is great for cornering but also catches more imperfections in the road.

Did you get an alignment after the drop? I'm guessing NO since your asking about an alignment. How do you know the camber is correct if not aligned?

Re: steering wacked out after drop help fast
3.5" holy crap! But anytime you change the suspension you have to get an alignment. And just eyeballing it is not good enough. WHich is why your car is prolly handling weird.

 It's not just camber that is affected by lowering, toe is also. If you were looking at the tires from above - / \ toe in - \ / toe out. Now if you were looking at the tires from behind/front - / \ negative camber - \ / positive camber.

Re: steering wacked out after drop help fast
The tie bars will stiffen up the cornering but won't help on the freeway with your problems. btw did the alignment help or is it still in the shop?

Re: alignment
4 wheel alignments usually run $50-$100 depending where you live & who does the work.
